Nizhny Novgorod doctors stood up for a therapist from Moscow who was fired for videos.

      May 30, 2026 11:48 Society Doctors from the Nizhny Novgorod region have sided with a therapist from Moscow who was fired for posting videos on social media. Details were provided by healthcare specialist Alexey Nikонов. The young woman shared in her blog the problems faced by both medical workers and patients. She did not disclose names or hospital titles; however, the management did not appreciate her creativity, and the employee was fired in one day. Nizhny Novgorod doctors were surprised by such an outcome, partly because they themselves often run their social media accounts, where they show what happens at work or share cases from practice.

      The surprise and outrage of the medics is understandable. There are millions of such videos online. This is a new culture and language of communication for millennial doctors, where sarcasm coexists with kindness; it is a way to let off steam, nothing more. Media-active doctors need to seek and find points of mutual interest; there will be more of such self-expression, and the tactic of "shutting everything down and stifling it" is a losing one, believes Alexey Nikонов.
